Annette Isibor, BACP

Annette Isibor is a UK-based therapist with 21 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She combines clinical knowledge with a warm, person-focused approach, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic insights and person-centred principles to tailor care to each individual.

As a BACP credentialed practitioner - a membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she works with clients to identify practical strategies and deeper patterns that affect wellbeing. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit a client’s unique circumstances and goals.

Annette believes that beginning therapy is a courageous step and she aims to make the process approachable and supportive. She uses whichever therapeutic methods are most relevant to a client’s concerns, so people receive focused help for the issues they bring and the outcomes they hope to achieve.

Therapeutic approaches and effective online care

Annette draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - an approach often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional responses and helps people improve connection, trust and intimacy in relationships. Client-centred therapy prioritizes the client’s experience, offering an accepting, non-directive space where individuals can explore feelings and identify their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Annette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions so the chosen approaches support practical change as well as deeper insight.

Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - that make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to connect with licensed professionals from different locations. These formats support continuity of care and allow therapists and clients to work together consistently, even when meeting in person is difficult.
